Three Dimensional Geometry

In the following cases, determine whether the given planes are parallel or perpendicular, and in case they are neither, find the angles between them.
(a) 2x – 2y + 4z + 5 = 0 and 3x – 3y + 6z – 1 = 0
(b) 2x – 2y + 4z + 5 = 0 and 3x – 3y + 6z – 1 = 0

Solution: (a) $2 x-2 y+4 z+5=0$ and $3 x-3 y+6 z-1=0$ It is given that The eq. of the given planes are $2 x-2 y+4 z+5=0$ and $x-2 y+5=0$ It is known to us that, two planes are $\perp$ if the...
